Canberra | Step into the Real - Life Lilliput: Whose Childhood Memories Are Triggered? Hidden in the small town of Gold Creek Village, Canberra, there lies a fairytale world - Cockington Green Gardens. As soon as you step into this place, it's like entering a magical land of Lilliput. The entire garden is divided into two exhibition areas: English Country Life and World Famous Buildings. The English Country Life exhibition area is full of life. You can see villagers playing cricket or attending church services. English pubs, churches, and cottages are scattered around, and even the lawns and trees are perfectly trimmed. The World Famous Buildings exhibition area is extremely impressive. Landmark buildings from around the world are replicated at a scale of 1:12. From the Eiffel Tower in Paris to the Taj Mahal in India, these miniature buildings are exquisitely crafted. Some even have interactive devices. Press a button, and the train speeds by, and the windmill starts to turn, creating a vivid atmosphere. Don't forget to take a ride on the mini steam train. It circles the entire international exhibition area, allowing you to take in all the scenery along the way, as if you're on a world - spanning journey in this tiny world. When you're tired from exploring, head to the Garden Cafe inside the garden. Order a cup of coffee and a serving of homemade scones, and enjoy a leisurely time.
Cockington Green Gardens is a famous miniature landscape park in Canberra. Famous buildings from all over the world are built here in the same style and different proportions. It is a veritable miniature landscape park. There are also many scenes displayed here, such as the Premier League, with several football figures placed on it, which looks like they are really watching a wonderful Premier League football game. It is worth a visit.
